'Glaring red flags': Historian issues major warning about Trump's game plan

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss appeared on MSNBC's "Way Too Early" to issue a new alarm about former President Donald Trump's assaults on the democratic process.

"We should all be really vigilant and sleep with one eye open," Beschloss explained. "Because you've got Donald Trump, even more than he did in 2016 or 2020 saying that the election is going to be rigged and I'm not going to take this lying down. He's made much more preparation for this than he did in either of those earlier elections. And at the same time, the stakes of this election could not be higher."

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign said Tuesday that her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, would be "unchecked" and "unhinged" in a potential second term, pointing to his comments at the roundtable with Latino leaders in which he said he would use "extreme power" to close the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump suggested that he opposed a bipartisan border bill earlier this year—and pushed Republicans in Congress to vote against it—because it was a "phony bill" that was unnecessary to stop immigrants from entering the U.S. through the southern border.
